Assisted Emisrants.

Inc decision of the Emigration Commits
sloners al New York that large party of
emlgrants recently landed by the Inman
oteamsnlp Company must be taken back tn
ireland Is likely to bring the emigration
question into the courts as the companv ra-
fuses to submit to the decision of the com.
missioners. These particular migrants are
what are known as assisted emigrants. ,
migrants whose passage has been paid by
the British government The law of the
land iorbids the bringing here Of people
likely to become charge upon cur COM
munltles, as well as convicts, and laborers
under contract and it is the duty of onr
emigration commissioners to send all snch
emigrants back. That these assisted emf
grants have not generally been able to SUP.
port themselves at home and are not con-
sidercd desirable population by the British
authoriueS VINO nave paid their passage to
this country is evident enough. No nation is
anxious to exile the thrifty part of its popula-
zion, and II these emigrants were thrifty men
and womenit is hardly possible that England
would be found paying the cost of their vow
age across the ocean to get rid Of them. It is
entirely safe to assume, indeed It is the
duty OF our commissioners to assume. that
tney are men and women who are likely To
become charge upon our communities.
and to put upon them or upon the
English government which sends the
burdens of proving to the contrary.
Inc English government in some recent cor
respondence with ours on this subject repre-
scented that these emigrants had friends in
tnls country who would assist them to q live
mood. But that representation is not sufi-
silent OF itself to take them out of the cate
CORY OF men forbidden to be brought here.
Iher friends in this country even when thew
nave any, are under no legal obligation to do
anything Tor them. A very much stronger
assurance than this that they will be taken
care OF some other way than st the public
expense should be had before they are al
lowed to land here.
This country is glad to welcome all able
oodieu' thrifty, moral men and women who
come mere with the intention of obeying our
laws ana becoming American citizens. but It
~ nos going TO become penal colony for for |
elgn convicts, not poor house for foreign |
paupers. Many of these assisted emf
grants" have no doubt been pauperized by |
neartiess English landlords under the sane
'ion OF unjust English land laws. As long

W 1ne rapacious landlords they were kept at
none nut now having been squeezed dry the
Ihshsn government proposes to ship them

ing them clearly belongs to the English gov
eminent which has pauperized them II
should not be allowed to shirk it on to us.

Ihat the prohibition movement in Texa,
has assumed proportions alarming to the
liquor men is clearly shown by the prepare.
lions the latter are making to combat it. A
delegation of wholesale dealers of Texas were

ing funds from the leading brewers and dis.
tlllers to aid in carrying the State against
the prohibitory amendment One OF the dele
CATION, Mr.. Ogden, said that from present
indications the State would go for prohibition
by at least 25,0o0 majority unless a campaign
fund could be raised sufficiently large to get
local Democratic leaders throughout the
state to take the stump. He PROMISES that II
the people will defeat prohibition the liouor
men will be willing to submit to the most
rigid high license law and the most stringent
supervision of the liquor traffic. arguing
that all the substantial moral reforms that
prohibition would bring about can be se-
cured under high license and without incnr-
ring the great business loss to the State that
the enforcement Of prohibition would entail
PROBABLY in order to brighten the brewers
and distillers and make them shell out. Mr..
Ogden somewhat exaggerates the strength of
the Prohibitionists, but that it is consider
able and constantly growing there is abun-
dant evidence outside of his assertion. If
the campaign funds pan out well, no doubt.
however, the local Democratic leaders can
be Induced to help stem the tide.

Mr.. James 7. Baxter has put the commun-
ity under lasting obligations by his magnifi-
cent gift to the Public Library, the Maine
Historical Society and the Portland Society

two dollars per year is exacted from every
person taking books therefron, only ana

from Mayor to official grog-seiler, ana teach

the city is called upon to contribute $1,000
every year. Mr. Baxter's generous donation

light, and the authorities should not be mig

"Mr. Bradbury announced last evening his
intention to retire from the presidency of the
Maine Historical Society. He desired to
withdraw at the last annual meeting, butw was
then persuaded to continue in the Office
which he adorned. His mature decision now
must be reluctantly accepted and his sue
cessor must be chosen a week from next
Tuesday. The choice will be easy. Mr..
James p. Baxter has rendered most import
ant services to the society. He has given
time and labor to the work of the society, as
his admirable edition of the Trelawny Pa
pers and his learned biography OF George
Cleeve attest. Other gentlemen, aided by
the State, have gone abroad to dig about the
roots of our history in England: but Mr..
Baxter, at his own cost, has rivalled their
researches and has brought home rich col
| lection of unpublished manuscripts and early
| maps, and invaluable acquaintance with the
resources of English libraries Finally, he
| is building magnificent home for the occu-
| patton of the society, rent free, jointly with
| the Portland public library, thus bringing
| together under one roof and in adjacent
anartmnr,ts- fhA-t---~-i ;L<~risss--~hiofs TO a
large extent supplement each other, and
making their joint resources conveniently ac-
| cessible. No member has ever rendered SER
vices to the historical society at all compare
BILE with these, taken altogether; and the
election of Mr.. Baxter to the presidency is a
simple and inevitable recognition of his use
fulness and public spirit.

sale Of wine to guests on Sunday is unlawful.

The Boston Advertiser thinks the indiffer-
encs manifested over the passage of the bill
to exempt veterans from competitive exami-
nations shows decadence of interest in the
subject of civil service reform in Massachu-
setts The Advertiser attributes it to the
fact that many of the most demonstratiye
friends Of the reform went over to the Demo-
cratic party in 1884, boasting that Mr. Cleve-
land would be its ardent supporter Find
ing that he has not been. but still deter
mined to cling to him, they have had to
abate their interest in the reform in order to
conceal their inconsistency.
